Report painter question FI-GL or FI-SL?

Hello
I have a general question on reports created via report painter.
I want to create a BS & PL report to see balances by month, and am trying to determine considerations to take into account.
Creation of a report where I can see the balance of an entire year is my goal.
From my limited understanding, I know I can create it in FI-GL or FI-SL.
For FI-GL, the global variable formulas I need to create look to be a pain, since they reference user exits (to calculate periods 1-12). Maybe its not that difficult, but Im not that knowledgable on this yet.
FI-SL (Special Ledger) is something that looks very usable, and I was planning on creating a special ledger and creating a BS report for it. But my concern is its reading from a different ledger. Are there cases where a discrepancy arises between ledgers?
If anyone has any advice on the the FI-SL or report painter, I would appreciate it
Regards,
Ken

Period shall be included in the column characteristics. Check the variables or Values in column definition for the characteristic period.
You could either give the values of period 1 for col 1, 2 for col 2, etc
or you may use variables for period. The variables can be a formula variable with conditions.
You make the user to enter a value for the 'To period' (ZTOPRD)
The value for the variable for column 2 (Feb) shall be = 2, if ZTOPRD > or equal to 2 else, give some 17 .
This way when the user enters a value of 1in the to period, the system would default 17, for which there won't be any values.
You may extrapolate the above formula for various remaining columns of period.

Report Painter question (FGI1) How to limit output up to a specified period

Hello
I have a report painter question.
I am trying to create a BS report using tcode FGI1 (FALGFLEXT), that lists out the BS values by month (Jan - Dec).
But the problem I am coming across is, if I specify selection parameter 01 2008, the report also populates the same values into the unposted months ahead (Feb/Mar/April)
Something is wrong with my parameters.
Is there a way I can limit the report output up to the specified period/month?
I thought I might be able to work around this by creating a formula/variable (like in GL-SL), but it doesnt seem to be the case.
Any thoughts appreciated
regards
Ken

Report Painter Questions

Hello,
I am new to SAP and this forum and have been put in charge of report development for Finance for our organization. I have been delving into report painter on my own with no official training on it and have a few questions I can't seem to find answers to. I was hoping someone here could help.
1.     What is the limit to the number of columns in a report painter report?
2.     How do I get a literal in the body of a report? In other words, I just want text to appear in one of the lines as a label which would mark different sections of the report.
3.     Can I get both p&l activity and balance sheet balances (not activity) in the same column of a report painter report?
4.     Is there a way to take report painter reports and import them into an already existing formatted template so that they look nice when printed?
5.     How do I get headers to show up in the Excel option of report painter reports?
6.     How can I get period end dates to print in reports?
Thank you to anyone who can help.

Report painter question regarding amounts in different currencies

Hi,
I have a report created in GRR2 using library 1VK. We display the total costs SWOG here but have the request to see in addition these costs in USD simulteanously. For that I included the basic key figure SWZG. When executing the report there is now a new selection parameter Target currency, Exchange rate date and Exchange rate type. I can see a new column with USD values, so far so good. But when I check the calculation I find that it can't be right, it differs from what it should calculate.
If I execute the report and select currency tranlsation of the key figure SWOG with exactly the same exchange parameters as above I'm getting different values in USD which match my manual calculation.
Any idea why this happens? What do you recommend to have both currencies ate the same time on the screen?
Thank you

Report painter question

Hi
In our old reports , when I double click the column (GRR2), I see a pop up for selecting the characteristics see some characteristics attached to the column. The mystery to me is there "Record Type" char is selected twice and have different values. While I make new column, I am unable to select the record type char twice . I don't see the copy function either in that pop up. Can some one help me how to select record type twice ? Or have you seen selecting any char twice and give different values to it.Thanks
Satya

Scroll to the right, you may find a right arrow click on that to have record type in the next line as well.
This while you are in the column double clicked and you see the characteristics.

I have a question about General Data Selection in Report Painter

Please help me out. Thi is the question....here it goes.
In a Report in ReportPainter, I have in the General Data Selection the following selected characteristics. They are:
Ledger = 0
Record Type = 0
Version = 1
Fiscal Year = Z-ANOACT
Period = (1CPERIV, 1CPERIB)
So that we have the next screen in the Reports execution.
Fiscal Year : 2006
From Period : 1
To Period : 12
Note:
*Z-ANOACT = Variable so that with a user-exit calculates the actual year. Right now is 2006.
*1CPERIV = This From-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name. Its default value is 1.
*1CPERIB = This To-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name.
Its default value is 12. Rigth now, we are in the fiscal month 5 (November).
Id like to filtrate information from January,2006,Period:07 to November,2007,Period:05.
I mean I work with the fiscal calendar because the information to get from the table is saved due to this calendar.
The Fiscal Calendar is from July to June:
Month          Period     Year
January          07     2006
February     08     2006
March          09     2006
April          10     2006
May          11     2006

October          04     2007
November     05     2007
December      06     2007
Right now, we are in November , 2006 (month=11) but according to the fiscal calendar we are in November, 2007 (month=5).
How I can accommodate my variables or what I am doing wrong so that I can select information from periods 7 to 12, 2006 ( January to June, 2006) and information from periods 1 to 5, 2007 (July to November, 2007) having the screen cited above so that report painter adds the 2 ranges.
I cannot do it with the criteria selection cited above because I only have a year and a range of periods and my end-user doesnt want to run my report twice:
One run with periods 7 to 12, 2006 and
Another run with periods 1 to 5, 2007 and then to add the 2 reports in excel to form a report.
Hed like something in my screen like this
Fiscal Year = 2006
From period = 7
To Period = 12
Fiscal Year = 2007
From period = 1
To Period = 5
And then report painter will add the 2 ranges.
Many Thanks if you know anything that can help me, please let me know.

ABDUL: I understand the ABAP Code but the information is saved in the table according to the fiscal calendar.
Fiscal Calendar Number of the MonthYear
January             7                    2006
February            8                    2006
March               9                    2006
April               10                    2006
May                 11                    2006
June                12                    2006

October             4                    2007
November            5                    2007
December            6                    2007
Normally, We are in November 2006 (month=11, year 2006).
However, fiscally; We are November 2007 (month=5, year=2007).
Important Notes:
     The information is saved according to the fiscal calendar in the table.
     My end-user wants to filtrate the information from January to November . I mean
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
I understand you told me about the ABAP code, for example my characteristics in the general data selection are:
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period: 7
To       Period: 5   (I would have an error here because From-Period Variable is greater than To-Period Variable)
According the ABAP code you told me, this would be:
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period: 1
To       Period: 11
If I run the report with these last parameters you told me, report painter only would add information from year 2006 and fiscal months 1 to 11 (July to May except June). We dont want this, that we want is :
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
How can I do this?? My email is [email protected] or [email protected]
Right now, the end-user runs the report twice and adds the information in excel. One run for :
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period:      7
To       Period:     12
And other run with:
Actual Year   : 2007
From    Period:      1
To        Period:       5
But the question is how you can do it with only a run and in this way:
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
Thanks if someone can help me!!

Question about sets in report painter.

Hi, everybody. Please, could someone help me in this matter?.
I wanna delete a set with the GS04 transaction in Report Painter but I cannot.
When I put the set's id (XXX) in the set's name and push Delete-Set-F8 button, I get the following error:
The XXX set cannot be deleted.I consult the error with the help and SAP tells me that I need to use the set-usage option to view where the set is used in the system.
I select this set-usage option under the utilities menu and SAP tells me that the set is being used in a report.
The thing is that the report doesnt exist. I deleted the report before. Why the error is then.
However, I created, generated and compiled the report again in report painter with other different set so that I confirmed that the report was not using the XXX set and the error continues with report or without it.
That I tried to say was that the XXX set is not being used anywhere and the question then is why report painter is telling me that the set is being used in a report. Thing that is not true.
Thanks and I hope someone can help me out!!

Report Painter - ERP Financials - Question on Value Variable useage

I want to use a value variable that works in Report Writer (table GLPCT, field MSL [quantity] but cannot select MSL as a variable field in Report Painter to insert the same variable (it is not a selectable characteristic) using the same Library and Table.
Is there a way to make the field selectable in Report Painter in order to select a value variable that uses the field MSL ? It is a valid field in the Library that I am building the report in.
In building the columns, I can select characteristic fields such as:
Ledger
Record Type
Version
Fiscal Year
Profit Center
Functional Area
Account number
Period
etc
but not MSL Quantity. Is there configuration to make this (or any field) accessible to Report Painter ?
Any advice is welcome.....
Thanks......

Quantity is a key figure. When you create the column values you would get this from the key figure drop list.

Question on Report Painter

Hello,
I am trying to learn how to create a report thru Report Painter.
At GRR3, I executed standard report 0F-BSNA with my parameters
From/To Period
Fiscal Year
Company Code
Ledger (0L)
Plan Version 1
But when I run the report, I get a " report contains no data" message.
Report 0F-BSNA does not contain any data pages
In order to be able to view a report, do I need to make some type of settings in customizing?
I am able to view Balance sheet reports in FI-GL.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Ken

Hi
In report painter we need to get the data in form of Rows & Columns. Probable problem in your report can we
1. Check the Fiscal year, any data for that FY is available in FI.
2. Check in which table the report is created.
3. Add the feild BSNA in the table
4. Use feild BSNA in the report.
All the above are customization setting but easyacess.
thanks

SAP upgrade - questions for report painter and query

Hi Experts,
I have two quwstions of SAP upgrade.
My requirement is: SAP upgrade from 4.6B to ECC 6.0 with non-unicode.
1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
For example: From 2008/01/01 to 2008/03/31,I want to know how many queries had been run/ query name/ runtimes of each query.
Best regards,

> 1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
You can check
Note 1155524 - ReportWriter: Upgrade Issues ECC6.0 -Common Customer Issues
> 2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
Such a tool was RBE (Reverse Business Engineer) - which is out of support.
You can try to get that information from ST03. If that is not enough there's no other way than booking an SLO service to find out the queries that have not been used (http://service.sap.com/slo).

Question on Values from Report Painter

Hi All
I have defined a report painter report using the Library 0FL allowing the dril down functionality.
however, when i drill down on a certain figure, the amount showin on the report is not in sync with the total I get when i drill down..
Can anyone suggest to me why this is happening and how i can get the 2 figures to match?
Thank you
Rukshana

Hellio Rukshana,
I would suggest you to please check the SAP Note 1317478 (Report Writer: Drilldown not handled properly).
In case the problem is not solved, please execute first the report RFFMRC20 and later report RFFMRC04 and reconstruct data.
Here it is important that you execute these programs only for the earmarked fund that you are having the issue. Execute it in one test system in test run first and look for results.
RFFMRC04 program analyzes differences between line items and totals records in Funds Management.
If you start the program as an update run, it automatically adjusts the relevant totals records.
Ensure that no postings are made while the program is running as this may lead to errors being displayed where none has occurred. If the program finds FM account assignments where the line item total is not the same as the relevant totals record, these lines are marked in red. The system displays the amount total (totals record), line item total, and amount type for each line.
Please check the documentation of this program in SE38 for more information.
I hope this helps.
Kindly let me know if you are talking about some other drill down fucntionality other than the above.
Thank you.
Suresh Jayanthi.

Account texts in Report painter

I created one report for more than one company code in report painter,
the format is
Account CoCode1 CoCode2 CoCode3 Total
XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXX
When i tried to run the report the descriptions of the Accounts are not visable instead its displaying Account no twice. I checked the report setting and every thing is right. Lead columns settings are set to display description
If i remove the CoCode2, CoCode3 columns and assign CoCode in Parameters section the descriptions are visiable, All the CoCodes share common COA.
Please help me on this.Already searched in threads.But nothing help me out.

Quidacciolu,
This is a forum for discussing business process specific to domains..
I would recommend the ABAP forum for this question and you would get very relevant answers and quite likely that you would get your problem solved also.

How to bring all columns in a single/first page in report painter

Hi Experts,
There are 9 columns in a report painter which includes 1 lead column.
7 columns comes in a first page including lead column and rest 2 columns goes to second page. This report is copied from another report where all columns comes in a first page only. if the original report comes in one page then why not the new report.
Please suggest how to bring all columns in a single/first page in the new report.
Please revert if I'm confused anywhere.
Thanks in advance
Arabinda

Hi Rajneesh,
Thanx for the quick reply. When I change the column width to 10 it comes in one page. But the requirement is to keep the column width to at least 12 or 14 and moreever the original report from where this report is copied having the same no of columns and the column width for original report is 14 and it comes in one page only.
Do I need to do something more to achieve this. My question is how the original reports data comes in one page where as the current report having issue with same number of columns.
Pls suggest.
Thanx,
Arabinda
